Directions

Use a large saute pan with a lid or a large sauce pan with a lid.Pit and cut up plums (don't peel), slice berries and grapes. Combine fruit, sugar, lemon juice, zest, vanilla and balsamic vinegar in the pan. Bring to a boil, turn to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 30-45 minutes, checking and stirring every 15 minutes or so. Break up the cooking fruit as it softens and releases juices.. Uncover and continue simmering for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid reduces to a jammy consistency. Remove from heat and cool. It will thicken further as it cools/
